Calling detroit, chicago area clubbers - Weather update? [#permalink] New post   16 Dec 2007, 15:53
So I have my interview in ann arbor on Tuesday. I have my flight booked for Monday. SFO-Chicago-Detroit. My wife just read through the weather reports online and is freaking out.

How bad is the snow storm? How are the road conditions, driving from detroit to ann arbor?

I hope ad-com grants me a phone interview if my flight tomorrow gets canceled :(

Clear and sunny in Chicago today. I believe MI is still getting some snow.

I think today was the worst (I live in the Detroit area)...Tuesday should be better. Im not sure if you have driven in snow before, just make sure you go slow and you'll be ok.

They are not kidding when you see the signs that say bridge may be icy.

Other than that your biggest issue may be your connection at Chicago.

Anyway, good luck on your interview!

Thanks, Thats good info hsampath. Yes, I lived in NY/NJ for a while, so I have driven in the snow. In the worst case, I will pick up a cab from the airport.

Southwest just told me that the connection from chicago got canceled and that they are trying to fly into DTW later tonight.

Got another 8 inches here. It switched over though so its starting to pack down, but there is still probably a foot on the ground here. Tomorrow would be a great day for someone from down south to visit Tuck.

You mentioned you are flying South West. It uses Midway airport and it tends to fewer cancellations compared to ORD because of more slack in capacity. Look for Midway cancellations in news reports instead of flight cancellations in Chicago. Hope you make your flights and good luck
